Hi, I am a colleague and a client of Dixon Howell, who I have known for 7 years. Dixon has an excellent reputation in the community as being both insightful and pragmatic, which is why I chose to associate with him personally and professionally, and chose him as my business attorney for my 20 person law firm. Dixon did an excellent job in reviewing and providing input regarding our buy-sell agreement, and I would be happy to use him again. I highly endorse Dixon Howell!

Exceeds our expectations

I have been working with Dixon Howell for the last few years on a variety of business law matters. Dixon has a vast knowledge of law and does a great job of protecting my company. I think one of the things that he does best is inform his clients of what to watch out for and prepare you for things before they happen. To me this is what you want . Someone who is a straight shooter and gives you sound advice. I will continue to use and recommend Dixon.
